Join James Brundage, PowerShell Tester, as he demonstrates how to Write quick user interfaces with WPK. This video should help people get started writing rich WPF user interfaces in PowerShell script. WPK is available as part of the PowerShellPack, which
is available on the Windows 7 resource kit CD and on CodeGallery (http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/PowerShellPack) .

While PowerShell truly is a powerful shell, the power is countered by the low readability of the scripts IMO. I love PowerShell, I REALLY do, and I use it on a daily basis. However, I'm not particularly impressed by the claim that you can write anything
(in any programming language) in fewer lines. Is it just me? I would have been much more impressed if the WPK made it possible to create input forms (not controls) much more easily than either method (WPK or old-school) allows me to at the moment. The data
visualization scenarios are probably the ones that got the biggest improvement by the WPK.

I've been wondering, what's going to happend next year when .net 4.0 is out?

I mean, for instance WPK as it is shown right now must work against WPF 3.5 (or .net 3.5/2.0). How is it going to coexist with 4.0? PS2.0 is going to get stuck to .net3.5 until next version or is it going to be recompiled against 4.0.
